Collecting Lust

A collection of nude studies installed on the wall of shoe and accessory designer William Frawley’s Manhattan apartment significantly increases this room’s sex appeal. Viewed individually, any one of the pieces might not be so dramatic, but when clustered tightly together, from floor to ceiling, the whole arrangement makes an especially striking statement.

The living room in this Fiji house, designed with help from Tony Chi, is filled with international objects collected by the home’s jet-setting owners, David and Jill Gilmour. Of particular note is the collection of 19th century Fijian war clubs—handcrafted pieces that pay tribute to the area’s history. Mounted directly on the wall, rather than displayed in a cabinet, they have surprising graphic impact.
